Abstract

Disclosed is a touch sensor assembly that includes a touch sensor overlay and one or more circuit boards held in place by a frame. The touch sensor overlay includes a plurality of touch sensitive elements and a plurality of conductors connected to the touch sensitive elements arranged on the touch sensor periphery. The one or more circuit boards are electrically connected to the plurality of conductors on the touch sensor periphery. The circuit boards include circuitry for conditioning signals communicated by the touch sensitive elements due to a touch on the touch sensor overlay. Also disclosed are methods of bonding circuit boards to a touch sensor overlay.
